- Paolo and Van are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the water fountain or to keep that $400 for a weekend getaway. Since a water fountain is a public good, both Paolo and Van will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.80 of benefit. For example, if both Paolo and Van choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Paolo and Van would each receive $640 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $1,280. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Paolo chooses to spend $400 on a weekend getaway, Paolo would get $400 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Van wouldn't receive any benefit from Paolo's choice. If Paolo still spends $400 on a weekend getaway and Van chooses to…Beth and Eleanor are considering contributing toward the creation of a building mural. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the building mural or to keep that $400 for a weekend getaway.

Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.60 of benefit. For example, if both Beth and Eleanor choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the building mural. So, Beth and Eleanor would each receive $480 of benefit from the building mural, and their combined benefit would be $960. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Beth chooses to spend $400 on a weekend getaway, Beth would get $400 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Eleanor wouldn't receive any benefit from Beth's choice. If Beth still spends $400 on a weekend getaway and…France and Tunisia both have Mediterraneanclimates that are excellent for producing/harvestinggreen beans and tomatoes.
